Now, here’s what we’re building, and where you come in. We're hiring a Senior Director of Sales to lead our most critical industrial segments. This is a high-impact leadership role for a seasoned enterprise dealmaker who thrives on building and scaling high-performing teams. Reporting to the VP of Sales, you'll lead a pod of Account Executives and own the strategy for three proven segments: F&B, Logistics, and the General Industrial category. You'll capture the surging demand we're seeing across the industrial sector and scale the team to meet it. Although you'll inherit a pod of Account Executives, you'll start hiring on day 1. Your first hires will be a first-line leader and additional AEs. Until that leader is in place, you'll be a player-coach, getting hands-on in live deals and helping your Account Executives win. As the team scales, you'll step up into a second-line leadership role.

Serve as the primary internal coordinator for Account Management and Business Development to ensure seamless deal execution. • Collaborate with Product Management to communicate specific segment use cases and technical requirements, influencing the product roadmap. Provide real-time field feedback to sharpen our Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) and product roadmap. • Partner with Marketing and Product teams to align our messaging with the digital transformation needs of modern manufacturing and logistics plants Requirements: • Proven Sales Leadership Experience: A minimum of 7+ years of successful enterprise sales experience, with a strong track record of exceeding sales targets as an IC and 3+ years of experience leading enterprise sellers.  • Ability to confidently and effectively communicate with C-level executives and Plant Managers within organizations focused on industrial/manufacturing customers. • Hunter Mentality: A relentless drive to lead reps to prospect and win new logos in a "greenfield" segment. • Technical Aptitude: Ability to learn and articulate the technical aspects of our platform and how it integrates into a modern manufacturing environment. • Bachelor’s Degree: A Bachelor’s degree in Business, Engineering, or a related field is preferred.
